Nakshatra

One of 27 principle asterisms (star
clusters, also called Lunar Mansions) in the Hindu system
of astrology. Usually refers to one's birth star. In this
sense, a person's Nakshatra is determined by drawing a
straight line from the earth through the moon at the exact
time of birth and noting the group of stars the line
points toward. The Nakshatra is an important factor in
determining the characteristics of an individual.

A Nakshatra is completed when the Nirayana longitude of
the Moon as measured from the fixed initial point attains
a value of 13° 20' or a multiple thereof. When the
longitude is 13°20', the first Nakshatra (i.e.. Ashvini)
ends, the same is 26°40' the second Nakshatra (Bharani)
ends and so on. There are thus 27 Nakshatra which
completes the circle of 360°. National Calendar of India -
The year of National Calendar begins from March 22 in an
ordinary year and March 21 in a leap year.

Many of Traditional Astrologers don't take pain in going
deeply into the placement of planets into the particular
Nakshatra and just give predictions on the signs in which
they are placed but we at AskGanesha.com
calculate and find out the Nakshatra and even their Sub
lords (Up-Nakshatra),
thereby ensuring accurate predictions.
